In 1895 Trendelenburg described his sign to determine the integrity of hip function. We found the sign to be positive in a patient whose hip was clinically and radiologically normal, and therefore investigated this in other patients. We confirmed that a medial shift of the mechanical axis of the leg below the hip may cause a positive Trendelenburg sign. This has not been previously described.
